technically america went over the fiscal cliff a couple hours ago, but despite the near crisis, our next guest says the president could come out of this a winner. >> steve: good morning to you. >> good morning. >> steve: the senate has passed this. now it goes to the house. we don't know if they're going to take it up today or when. technically we have sailed off the fiscal cliff. the big question is, what's the house going to do? >> i think they're going to pass it. you have to remember the house could not pass plan b, which was john boehner's plan to raise taxes on people who make a million dollars. so how in the world would they pass something that's even less than half that, raise taxes on people before 50? you have to remember, all the attention was paid to those republicans who blocked that planned deal. there is 240 republicans in the house. about 40 of them stopped it, which means there were 200 republicans who were ready to vote for plan b. some number of those are going to be ready to vote for this. if john boehner adds their votes to the democrats, i mean, the democrats have g

cliff happening, us going over the fiscal cliff, but if senate does pass something, that would be the next move, then the house could pretty easily take it up and pass it on sunday night or monday morning, on the actual day of december 31st. i think at this point, it's more of a question of optics, and democrats were definitely trying to take advantage today of the fact that the house republican -- the republican-led house, rather, is not here and won't be here until sunday. we all know that what happens here in washington, is that nothing really happens until they're really up against the deadline. that's why i'm also told by some democrats who really know what the process is going to be, if there is one, that they don't even see this potentially happening, if there is any kind of legislation that goes before december 31st, until probably that day, december 31st, because the pressure will have to be on to get enough republicans in the house and the senate, to pass this. >> right up to the edge. thank you, dana. thank you, jessica. now, right now, the most likely deal on the table see

but the fiscal cliff is only the beginning of the fiscal drama. oh, yes. there are three, count them, three more cliff-like deadlines over the next three months. first the debt ceiling. yesterday the treasury secretary made it official, federal borrowing has reached the $16.4 trillion debt ceiling. they can't issue more debt. right? without raising that debt ceiling. congress has to do it. we have about two months of head room, which means the deadline to tackle that would be late february or early march. next up the sequester. a series of automatic 8% to 10% cuts in many federal agencies. the senate's fiscal cliff deal would kick that can down about two months to march. a lot of federal agencies trying to figure out what's that going to mean down the road? and then there's the continuing budget resolution which uses short-term band aids. the current resolution expires towards the end of march. so, before you think that we've averted any kind of fiscal cliff, we're actually hanging off of it by our fingernails waiting for the house to fix it and you've got
